The beauty of the western Shenandoah Valley is legendary, and this tour showcases five beautiful properties amidst one of the prettiest landscapes in Virginia. Each offers its own distinctive character, from a stream side log cabin and a converted and expanded historic one room schoolhouse, to several contemporary homes designed for modern living; each takes advantage of its beautiful rural setting. The properties include charming gardens, distinctive outbuildings — and scenic views that are well worth the drive alone. Plan to set aside several hours to enjoy these gorgeous homes and mountain vistas. The tour headquarters is located in the restored log structures at the Inn at MeadowCroft, 331 Glebe School Road, Swoope, VA.

how it helps
Proceeds from the statewide event fund the restoration and preservation of Virginia’s historic gardens, and provide research fellowships for building comprehensive and ongoing records of historic gardens and landscapes in the Commonwealth.
